[Government Business No. 1—Proceedings on Bill C-5, June 16th, 2025]

Madam Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his excellent speech. He and I have both been here for a long time. We watched, for the last 10 years, as the Liberal government blocked and stymied pretty much every economic development opportunity, particularly in my home province of Alberta, and countrywide. As he sees the Liberals seemingly taking all of the ideas the Conservatives have had for the last 10 years and swallowing themselves whole, how much barbecue sauce does he think they had to put on themselves in order to do that?

[Natural Resources, June 16th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, after 10 years of economic vandalism by the Liberals, Albertans want the walk to match the talk. It has been three months since the start of the campaign, four weeks since the throne speech, weeks since the meeting with the premiers and businesses, and yet the “no more pipelines” bill, the tanker ban, the production cap and the industrial carbon tax all still remain, and not a single oil and gas project has been announced.

When does the talk, talk, talk become the walk, walk, walk, or is this all just more Liberal squawk, squawk, squawk?

[Natural Resources, June 16th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, this week, leaders of the G7 gather in Kananaskis. Top of mind at this summit are international peace and security. Canadian energy is a key part of this conversation. Our G7 allies, such as Germany and Japan, have spent years asking for ethically sourced Canadian oil and gas. Yet, this same Liberal government has stymied our allies for 10 years.

When will the Liberals get out of the way and approve the energy infrastructure that Canadians and our allies so desperately need?

[Government Business No. 1—Proceedings on Bill C-5, June 16th, 2025]

Mr. Speaker, the government is now moving closure on its piece of legislation in order to, as it claims, fast-track projects for our nation. However, without getting rid of Bill C-69, without getting rid of Bill C-48, without getting rid of the industrial carbon tax and without getting rid of the production cap, what is the point in fast-tracking legislation to have a one-stop shop where people can just hear the word “no”?

[Business of Supply, June 11th, 2025]

Mr. Chair, does the minister think there is a business case for LNG exports to Japan, Germany, Poland and Greece?

[Business of Supply, June 11th, 2025]

Mr. Chair, did the Government of Canada spend $34 billion to build a pipeline that Kinder Morgan was going to build for $9 billion?

Mr. Chair, what did Kinder Morgan have budgeted to complete that project?

[Business of Supply, June 11th, 2025]
